Against Dialect Literature.

We are not q nation of dialect yawpers.
AS people we do not believe that Ameri-
can humor borrows any excellence or
any real acceleration of current from bad
spelling or hideous pronunciation, and
yet our magazines and newspapers are
too often guilty of presenting our litera-
ture as coarse joke, told by ourselves at
the expense of our own dignity. do not
say that what we are pleased to call dia-
lect literature ought to disappear, but I
do say that its supremacy in our pub
lshed writings is the exponent of total
lack of patriotism in our literary life, for,
erary work, we should delight in q noIolcr
strain of art when attempting to repre-
sent American life and American aspira-
tions.-Maurice Thompson.

A Mistaken Idea.

There is an idea abroad in the minds of
altogether too many that it is mean or
close or stingy for one man to drink any
thing when friends are within call without
asking them all to join him. This absurd
sentiment has its corollary in the breast of
the friends thus treated who assume that
they will each and all be considered mean
unless they at once reciprocate the treat
by treating the original treater to another
drink. The vulgar, commercial, quid pro
quo element which is thus forced into the
thing known as social drinking is in itself
much more deserving of the epithet mean
than the thing which it is supposed to
avoid. Nevertheless, it is a custom, and
is yielded to by thousands of men, young
and old, who know better but are afraid
of being misunderstood and criticised if
they ignore it.-New Haven Palladium.

The Only Honest WAY,

When q coarse and obtrusive woman
steps up in front of line of twenty men
at postoffice money order window, why
does not the man i'll front have the cour-
age to tell her to fall back into her proper
place? And why, when he allows her to
take five minutes of his time, does he not
realize that he is giving her more than an
hour and half belonging to nineteen
other men? The only honest way he can
be courteous in such o case is to resign his
position and take one at the rear of the
ule.-New York Tribune.

Action of Tea, Coffee, ETC.. ON Food.

Action OF Tea, Coffee, Etc, on Food.
As the result of experiments, DR.. j. W.
Frazer reports that the digestion of starchy
food appears to be assisted by tea and coffee;
that the glutin in flour is the principle least
setarded in digestion by tea, and it comes
third with cocoa, while coffee has a much
greater retarding action on it. From this it
appears that bread is the natural accompani-
ment of tea and cocoa used as beverages at a
meal. He finds that meats are not much re-
tarded in digestion by coffee; that eggs are
the best form Of animal food to be taken with
infused beverages, being apparently best
when lightly boiled, if tea is used, and hard
boiled when coffee or cocoa is the beverage

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Swimming as an Exercise for Developing
and Strengthening the Chest.

Swimming as an Exercise for Developing
and Strengthening the Chest.
In considering the Importance of swimming
as an athletic sport for women, a teacher OF
the art states in Herald of Health that from
personal observation early in her career she
became convinced that for chest diseases par
ticularly the exercise Of swimming might be
well recommended, for the membranes Of the
chest of swimmer acquire development, the
pulmonary tissues firmness, tone and energy.
1t is the only exercise which forces into mo-
ton every muscle and into circulation every
drop of blood in the system. Often delicate
ladies have been recommended by their ply
sicians to learn the art of swimming for the
beneficial effect of the exercise, and, although
in the beginning a little practice would
greatly fatigue them, by perseverance and
determination they became proficient and inn
proved in health.
In swimming as in other good things, the
same authority advises that excess be avoided
and prudent precautions taken. Swimming
when hungry or too soon after full meal,
or when the body is chilled or exhausted, is
more apt to be dangerous than beneficial.
Before entering the water the body should
not be in any great perspiration, nor should
it be cold. Many believe it necessary to take
stimulants before entering the water, but the
after effects are of an enervating sort,
and it is safe to say that the water itself is
tonic enough, especially in conjunction with
the movements ofswimming, and even people
who are slow to get up reaction after bath
ing might find a brisk walk or some hot
coffee or beef tea of more service Invigora-
ton should come from the bath, not from
the stimulants.
On first plunging into cold water there
comes shock which drives the blood to the
central parts of the system. But immedi-
ately a reaction takes place which, assisted
by the exercise of swimming, produces an
agreeable warmth, even in water of low tenn.
perature The stay in the water should
never be prolonged beyond the period of this
excitement. If the water be left while this
warmth continues, and the body Immediately
dried, the healthy glow over the whole sur
face will be delightful To remain in the
water after the first reaction is over produces
a prolonged chilliness, shrinking of flesh
and contraction of the skin by no means
favorable to health OF enjoyment, and it is
only in water thoroughly warmed by the
summer heats that we may battle for any
great length of time with IMMUNITY.

BOARDING.HOUsE LIFE.
Women Whose Only Interest in Ex-
istence is Gossip.

However prominently gossip enters into
the life of the average clearinghouse else
where, says a writer in the Philadelphia
Press. in this city it is the characteristic that
makes everything else subordinate. The peo-
pie live on it, study it. cultivate it as an art
and make 1.-THE chief occupation of their
daily lives The interest of any friendly
intercourse that exists consists chiefly in
finding out things about one another or
about somebody else in the house.
There is hardly clearinghouse in Phil
adelphia where the private and domestic
affairs of every one in it are not as well
known to every one else in it as to them
selves. What woman is making or doing,
what she bought yesterday or what she is
going to buy to- day, who she visits, who
visits her, how much her husband makes,
where he is if absent from a meal, how
much her last dress cost her, or Just what
is the matter with her if she remains in her
room, are affairs quite as we'll known to
every woman in the house as to
herself. There is in almost every
clearinghouse one or two women usually
unmarried and no longer particularly juve-
nile, who make this their business in life
To eat and know what is going on is all
they live for. They seldom go out, have
no interests or occupation, and gradually
every feminine trait becomes subordinated
until curiosity becomes a passion. Every
time the bell rings they know it, as they do
the contents of every bundle that arrives
They see the letters at the plates before the
owners see them themselves, and cleverly
draw out of the recipients who they are
from if it takes six months to do it, They
invite and cultivate the confidence of every
newcomer solely to minister to their absorb
ing passion.
Quite often the woman who keeps the
boarding house is afflicted with this frenzy
herself, and the case is we'll authenticated
of the keeper of a fashionable boarding
house in this city who opened and read, by
steaming them, the letters of most of the
ladies in the house for six months before
she was discovered. There are number
of boarding houses where every letter and
every package received into the house is
taken to the mistress before they reach their
rooms. In all such espionage as this of
course servants have share, and, as a
rule, not only lend themselves easily to it,
but in time become adopts themselves.

Spring Fashion Notes.

Bonnets are trifle larger.
Point d'esprit is the lace of the coming
season.
Tailor-made gowns will be more worn
than ever.
Sprigged and striped chalies appear on
dry goods counters among new goods.
The new point d'esprit has very small
dots thickly set on very fine diaphanous
net.
The black lace dress of high fashion for
the incoming season is of Chantilly or its
imitation.
That favorite lady's magazine, the Sea-
son, is out for May, two weeks ahead of all
its contemporaries.
The new challies and bereges. whether
plain or printed, make up admirably over
silk foundations.
There will be half million hats and bon
nets, more or less, to be seen at Ridley's, in
Grand street, this week.
The increased size of the new bonnet is
all put in the crown, which towers high
above a mere hint of brim.
Gray and buff are the favorite colors for
light spring cloths, whether checked or
plain, intended for tailor suits.
Hats are lower in the crown, the brims
narrower and still turned up, flattened Oh
one side, but the trimmings tower high as
ever.
Printed and embroidered muslns are made
up over skirts of plain silk o. Sateen match
ing the colors of the grounds OF those of the
figures.
The Young Ladies' Journal for April is
out, with bigger bulletins of colored fash
ions and more illustrated stories, novels and
novelties than ever.
Open cut work embroidery on silk is used
in trimming dressy hats in combination with
lace, flowers and ribbon, but rarely with
feathers.
The hats of the incoming season are trim
med in manner that plainly indicates their
use being confined to street wear with tailor
made suits.
Little girls wear very short wasted frocks
in America but on the other side their waists
are made as long as their mammas', but not
quite so tight.
GauZe ribbons are used in combination
with let and other beads by the best Paris
couturieres for fots and bows on dressy
| frocks of silk and lace.
| inexpensive black satin is the correct I'M
/ derslip or foundation for a black lace frock,

the notorious Place Maubert. which

of the notorious Place Maubert, which
readers of Eugene Sue will remember,
were surprised to see two or three open
vehicles laden with handsome ladies in
brilliant plumages, and ultrac hics in
bord plat hats and resuscitated In
verness capes, sweep down from the
Boulevard st. German into the dismal Rue
Galande. The procession stopped before
the red-painted Chateau Rouge, which for
merly belonged to Gabrielle d Estrees, and is
now the midnight resort of the greatest cut
Threats and ruffians in Paris. The occu-
pants of the vehicles, followed by crowd
of gaping gamins, pickpOcketS and general
metropolitan marauders, went into the
hideous hostelry, where they actually had
luncheon, which was washed down
by a copious shower of champagne.
The well-dressad guests who had thus
hOnored the Red castle with their temporary
presence, were some of the most charming
actresses in Paris. who, for the novelty of
the thing, had agreed to lunch at the sinis-
ter tavern with some of their cavaliers.
After the repast one of the actresses re-
cited verses by Francois Coppee, and then
some of the abSinthe- saturated musicians
and artists of the locality. who had been
invited to the junketing, were listened to
with considerable amusement.
